Nurses (and health) have come a long way in recent years thanks to the amazing mahi of committed people who had the vision and courage and sheer stickability to push for change. Prescribing of essential medications by nurses is one important change. The Aotearoa College of Diabetes Nurses has announced that Nurse Prescribers, (nurses who have had extra training and can prescribe from a list of authorised medications), who work in particular roles, now have a wider range of relevant medications on their list including SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 receptor agonists as classes.
The Aotearoa College of Diabetes Nurses Committee acknowledge the Māori Clinicians Network and NZSSD as collaborators.
